Fifteen years of regional climate downscaling in CORDEX-Australasia

Regional climate modelling plays a central role in understanding and projecting climate change across Australasia, a region characterised by complex topography, diverse climate regimes, and high exposure to climate extremes. Over the past fifteen years, CORDEX-Australasia has coo...

Post-fire erosion and debris flows in the western Pacific Northwest, United States: recent science and opportunities

Most research into post-fire geomorphology has been conducted in regions with frequent fire, such as in dry Mediterranean and temperate climates and less has been conducted in wet forests where wildfire is now expanding with climate change. Because climate, soils, topography, veg...

Using Tower‐Based Observational Networks to Assess the Impact of COVID‐19 Lockdowns on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Six North American Cities

Abstract The onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic in North America and the lockdowns that followed in March 2020 brought forth a rapid change to societal functions disrupting many aspects of normal life, including the greenhouse gas emissions associated with them. In this work, we exam...

Ediacaran coupling of climate and biosphere dynamics

Climate change is demonstrably linked to radiations, extinctions, and turnovers in the biosphere throughout the Phanerozoic (538.8 Ma to present). Here, we suggest this connection existed as early as the late Ediacaran (ca. 579−538.8 Ma), the first interval in Earth’s history to...
